Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of passive optical networks and optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) fiber testing. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention pertain to an optical transceiver with integrated OTDR monitoring, useful as an optical line terminal (OLT), and methods of manufacturing such optical transceivers.
- OLT optical line terminal
- a passive optical network refers to an optical distribution network (ODN) with neither active electronic network devices nor a dedicated electronic power supply.
- ODN optical distribution network
- the ODN uses one or more passive devices, such as a splitter.
- the passive optical network includes (i) an optical line terminal (OLT) unit that is located in a central control station, and (ii) a number of corresponding optical network units (ONUs) that are located in end user units.
- OLT optical line terminal
- ONUs optical network units
- the ODN includes fibers and a passive optical splitter or coupler.
- OTDR technology can be used to monitor fiber performance (e.g., to monitor or determine the occurrence of fiber fusion splices, connections, or breakages).
- Optical pulse signals are transmitted or input to a fiber input terminal. Then, fiber-reflected optical signals are collected at a high speed at or from the fiber input terminal to obtain a series of sample data points. Each sample data point represents a reflected optical power at a certain point in the fiber.
- the relationship between fiber attenuation and fiber length is obtained by plotting the distance between the fiber input terminal and each sample data point along the abscissa (e.g., x-axis) and the reflected optical power value of each sampling point along the ordinate (e.g., y-axis), so that the performance (e.g., reflected optical power as a function of distance) of the tested fiber can be determined.

- output pulse signals transmitted via a pulse driver (e.g., pulse driver module) 563 interface with a bias current connecting wire between the driver 504 and the first laser device 506 . Therefore, the output pulse signal of the pulse driver module 563 may have a power or amplitude that is about 5%-10% of the data signal.
- the data signal has a high digital logic value (e.g., a “1”), it can be superposed and/or overlaid with an OTDR pulse signal having an amplitude of approximately 5%-10% of the data signal.
- a limitation of the fiber length test may occur due to the amplitude of the OTDR pulse signals of FIG. 5 when it is relatively small (e.g., 5%-10% of the data signal) and the relatively low pulse power input to a fiber.
- the OTDR pulse may be encoded in a special encoding mode, such as Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) encoding or complementary Gray coding, to increase the quantity or amplitude of the test pulse and/or the optical power to be injected into the fiber.
- PRBS Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence
- a data receiving terminal can retrieve or determine the numerical value of each sampling data point to generate OTDR monitoring and/or test curve(s) similar to the embodiment of FIG. 4 . Also, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 4 , the OTDR test curve and/or monitoring data of FIG. 5 can be reported to a monitoring terminal via the IIC interface 503 coupled to the MCU 508 .
- the transceiver of FIG. 4 is little more efficient than the transceiver of FIG. 5 .
- the device of FIG. 5 can be integrated in the OLT optical transceiver 500 relatively easily, with lower hardware costs than the device of FIG. 4 , the test algorithm may be more complicated than the device of FIG. 4 since the OTDR pulse may uses special encoding.
- the data signal is overlaid with an OTDR pulse signal whose amplitude is 5%-10% of the data signal in FIG. 5 , which has a minor effect on the transmitting optical power and optical eye pattern of the OLT module 510 , instead of an effect on the system's performance.
- the present optical transceiver (or OLT) integrated with an OTDR monitoring function advantageously can protect conventional OLT optical transceivers and guarantee successful monitoring of the data (e.g., via the IIC interface). Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention can advantageously simplify network wiring and decrease PON system and network costs by decreasing the number of OTDR devices and/or WDMs.
